From France we learn that the adjudication of the 

 new loan took place on Monday, when it was taken by 

 Messrs. Rothschild at a price much higher than was ex- 

 pected. The Ministerial Papers congratulate the Govern- 

 ment on this subject, and regard the high price obtained 

 for the loan as a fresh proof of national credit, at the 

 } same time expressing the belief that, as the English 



j Three per Cents, are above par, similar French securities 



may shortly be expected to reach the same position. 

 Accounts from Tahiti, received this week, supply fresh 

 materials to the Opposition prints, and, from their angry 

 I comments, there is no doubt that the occurrences in the 



I Pacific will give rise to much discussion in the approach- 



ing Session. It is evident, however, that the hostility of 

 the Opposition on this exhausted topic arises from the 

 I absence of a more important grievance. The Government, 



it is said, are prepared to withstand the attack, supporting 

 itself on the King's visit to this country, the bombard- 

 ment of Tangiers and Mogadore, the battle of Isly, the 

 marriage of the Duke d'Aumale, the success of French 

 diplomacy abroad, and finally, on the advantageous loan 

 just negotiated. The Duke and Duchess d'Aumale 

 arrived at Marseilles from Naples on the 6th inst., and 

 were received with great enthusiasm by the authorities 

 and inhabitants of that city.— From Madrid we learn 

 that the protracted debate on the Reform Bill has at 

 length been brought to a close in the Chamber of De- 

 puties, and is now under the consideration of the Senate. 

 The amendments made by the Deputies involved no 

 material change of the Government scheme, and it is 

 expected that the measure will pass t hrough the Senate 

 without any important modification. The executions at 

 Logrono, announced last week, have been followed by 

 similar acts of severity in various parts of Spain. An- 

 other sou of Gen. Zurbano has been shot, together with 

 several of his followers ; while other parties supposed to 

 j be disaffected towards the present Ministers, have either 

 been executed without trial or banished from the king- 

 dom. Nothing certain is known of Zurbano's move- 

 ments, but it is supposed by many that he is concealed 

 in Madrid, and has not succeeded in escaping into France. 

 Gen. Prim has not yet left Spain for the scene of his 

 banishment, but great efforts are making by his friends 

 to have him transported to Havannah or Porto Rico 

 instead of the Marianne Islands, on account of his health 



which has been seriously impaired by the late events. 



In Switzerland fresh disturbances have occurred on the 

 subject of religion, and the canton of Lucerne is in open 

 insurrection. A collision took place on the 4th between 

 the insurgents and the troops, in which the former were 

 defeated, but fears are entertained of a general rising of 

 all the Protestant cantons against the Jesuits.— We have 

 advices from the West Indies to a late date by the mail- 

 steamer Avon, which reached Southampton on Thursday 

 having been due for many days. The accounts from the 

 islands are not of much importance, the principal news 

 being confined to the loss of the Actaon steamer, the 



i&omz Xctos. 



Court.— Her Majesty and Prince Albert, the Duke 

 and Duchess of Saxe Coburg Gotha, the Duke of Wur- 

 temberg, and the infant royal family, left Windsor on 

 Saturday morning for Claremont. On Sunday, the 

 Queen and her royal visitors attended Divine service at 

 Claremont, Archdeacon Wilberforce officiating. On 

 Tuesday, the Prince attended the funeral of the Princess 

 Sophia, and on Wednesday the roy^J party returned to 

 Windsor Castle. On Tnursday, Her Majesty held a 

 Chapter of the Order of the Garter, and in tbe course of 

 the forenoon the Queen and Prince Albert, accompanied 

 by the Duchess of Saxe Coburg Gotha, and Duke Ernest 

 of Wurtemberg, and attended by the Earl of ll.irdwicke, 

 Lord C. Wellesley, and Sir E. Bosrater, went in pony 

 carriages to Frogmore, where the gentlemen of the party 

 partook of the diversion of skating. 



Funeral of the Pnncess Sophia.— The remains of her 

 late Royal Highness the Princess Sophia Matilda of 

 Gloucester lay in state on Monday, at the Ranger's 

 house, Blackheath. On Tuesday the funeral of the 

 Princess took place, with tbe usual ceremonies, at St. 

 George's Chapel, Windsor. The procession left Black- 

 heath at 1 o'clock, the hearse bearing the royal arms, 

 and drawn by eight horses, escortrd by a troop of Dra- 

 goon Guards. It proceeded through Peckham and over 

 Vauxhall- bridge, through Hyde-park, to the Paddington 

 terminus of the Great Western Railway, where it arrived 

 about 5 o'clock, having taken upwards of four hours to 

 traverse the distance from Blackheath to the railway. 

 The hearse and mourning coaches were then transferred 

 to a special train, which conveyed them to Slough in 16 

 minutes. Another procession was then formed, which 

 advanced by torch-light to Windsor, the line being kept 

 by the Royal Horse Guards. The body arrived at St. 

 George's Chapel about half-past 8, and was received by 

 the Lord Chamberl iiri. Garter King at Arms, and the 

 Dean and Chapter of Windsor. The Countess of Gains- 

 borough officiated as chief mourner, and the Dean of 

 Windsor read the funeral service, after which Garter 

 King at Arms proclaimed Her late Royal Highness's 

 style, and the body was deposited near the Sovereign's 

 stall. Prince Albert attended the funeral, and sat in his 

 stall. The Prince wore the uniform of a Field Marshal, 

 with the ensigns of the order or the Garter and the 

 Golden Fleece, and a mourning scarf. 



Order of the Garter.— The Queen held a chapter of 

 this Order on Thursday at Windsor Castle. The Knights 

 present were Prince Albert, the Duke of Cambridge, the 

 Duke of Rutland, the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis 

 of Anglesey, the Marquis of Exeter, the Duke of Rich- 

 mond, the Duke of Bucc.'euch, the Duke of Buckingham, 

 the Duke of Beaufort, the Duke of Cleveland, and the 

 Marquis of Salisbury. The officers of the Order present 

 were :— The Prelate, Bishop of Winchester ; the Chan- 

 cellor, Bishop of Oxford ; the Registrar, Dean of Wind- 

 sor; S" *" 



W. CI 



the usual ceremonies had been gone through, H.R.H. 

 Ernest II., reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg and Gotha ; 

 Earl de Grey, the Marquis of Abercorn, Earl Talbot, 

 and the Earl of Powis, were elected Knights of the Garter. 

 Death of the Earl of Limerick. — His lordship died on 

 Saturday evening, at his seat, South Hill-park, near 

 Bracknell, Berkshire. The deceased nobleman was 

 born on the 8th January, 1758, consequently had nearly 

 completed his 87th year. He succeeded to the barony 

 of Glentworth on the demise of his father in 1794, was 

 elected a representative peer for Ireland by the act of 

 union, created Earl and Viscount Limerick in 1803, and 

 inrolled amongst the peers of the United Kingdom by the 

 title of Baron Foxford, in 1815 ; married Alice Mary, 

 only daughter and heiress of Henry Ormsby, Esq., of 

 Cloghan, county of Mayo. His lordship is succeeded in 

 his titles and estates by his grandson, the Hon. William 

 Tennison Pery, now Earl of Limerick, who is at present 

 in Australia. 



Parliamentary Movements. — In consequence of the 

 death of Lieut.- Colonel Sir J. H. Seale, Bart., the re- 

 presentation of Dartmouth has become vacant. Two 

 candidates are now in the field, Mr. Joseph Soames, 

 the extensive ship-owner, on the Conservative side, and 

 Mr. Moffatt, a London tea-merchant, on the liberal 

 interest. — The death of Mr. Otway Cave has created 

 a vacancy in the representation of Tipperary, and it is 

 said that the Repeal party intend to bring forward the 

 Hon. G. Hely Hutchinson as a candidate. — It is sup- 

 posed that Lord Rosse will succeed the Earl of Limerick 

 as one of the Irish representative peers. 



Diplomatic Changes. — A Ministerial paper states 

 that Sir Henry Pottinger is shortly to replace Sir Strat- 

 ford Canning as British Minister at Constantinople. 



journals discuss two letters published in V Afriqite 

 which go to show that the French Government will be 

 obliged to make another warlike demonstration against 

 Morocco, to compel the fulfilment of the late treaty in 

 respect of Abd-el-Kader, whose continued vicinity to 

 Algeria began to cause uneasiness, real or affected, to the 

 French authorities. Private let.ers state, that the French 

 Government had ordered prompt and decisive meaaures to 

 insure the full execution of the late treaty between 

 France and Morocco, and that "the constant intercourse 

 by messengers, at least, between If. Guizot and Marshal 

 Soult, remarked by the journals, was entirely occasioned 

 by ^ the last accounts from Algeria.— A file of the 

 OcCunie Francaise, a newspaper established at Tahiti, 

 by the Governor, Captain Bruat, has been received at 

 Paris, and the contents are duly noticed by the Opposi- 

 tion prints, prej ory to the approaching session, in 

 which the occurrences at the Society Islands pro- 

 mise to give rise to much angry discussion. The 

 file extends from the 5th of May to the Oth of June, 

 Phe number of the 12th of May gives a long account 

 of the proceedings of Lieutenant Hunt, of the Basilisk 

 during tiie interviews between tbe Chiefs and Queen 

 Pomare, and asserts that the detail* are all authentic. 

 They are however of little interest, being chiefly confined 

 to alleged acts of misconduct on the part of Lieut. Hunt 

 and especially to his rem less in not taking notice of 

 the birth-day of Queen Victoria on the 24th May, while 

 the French batteries commemorated the occasion by the 

 uil complimentary salutes. The Dtbats quotes a 

 letter from Tahiti, stating that the Chiefs of Wsllis's 

 Islands and of the Island of Fontana are henceforward 

 under the protectorate of France ; this step, which was 

 applied for several months back, being consented to bj 

 the French Government. The Governor of Tahiti has, 

 in consequence, despatched a vessel to these islands to 

 notify that they were to be occupied ; and the protec- 

 torate of the G^mbier Islands has also been announced. 



The / ts publishes along article on the Charitable Be- 

 quests Bill, i:.s~eu during the last session oi the Jiri 

 Parliament, which, it save, " may oe considered as a first ateo 

 towards an understanding between the Catholic clerev and 

 the British Government. The great and the 1, us 



ifficuity of the situation 01 Ireland has always been the con 

 dltion of her national church. The Catholic clergy seeine a 

 hostile Church prosperous, and enriched with her spoils whilst 

 they were depending for the means of exi ,ce on the volun- 

 tary contributions of a| le as p r as the. elves were 

 compelled to remain at the mercy of the popular passion and 

 '" »' al and permanent hostility with the Protectant 



(iovernment. Mr. Pitt, with his provid genius, well un- 

 derstood that the union between the two countries would 

 never be secure so long as the Catholic clergy remained out 

 side the pale of civil society. For that reason he proposed" 

 together with the emancipation of the Catholics, an annual 

 stipend for the Catholic clergy. His pUns fulled in conse- 

 quence of the obstinate intolerance of the sovereign. At a 

 subsequent period a compromise had nearly been effected 

 The Government off red, the Catholic bisho publicly 

 accepted, and the Court of Rome consented to a stipend But 

 since then a change has been caused in public opinion bv 

 tbe agitation of the Repeal of the Union, and last year the 

 Bishops again declared officially that tliey were resolved not to 

 accept any salary from the State. It became necessary, there- 

 fore, to find some means which, without placing tne'clerev" 

 under the influence ot tne Government, would nevertheless in 

 the course or time, render them independent. But the existing 

 laws rendered the recanstitutlon of the Catholic church pro 

 sir C. Young, Garter King"of Arms ; and Sir A. l ' T,y im P ossib ' e - because they would not permit donations in

France. — The "adjudication" of the long-talked-of 

 loan of 200,000,000 francs took place on Monday at the 

 u Ministers des Finances." The only bidders were 

 Messrs. de Rothschild and Saint-Didier and Bandon, 

 the representatives of the Receivers-General of the 

 taxes of France, Messrs. Hottinguer and Co., Messrs. 

 Durand, and Messrs. Baring. The price tendered by 



re-estaolisn the right of the Catholic clergy to property acquired 

 by mortmain. Tne Catholic clergy would commit & great lault 

 it they refused the conciliatory offer* made to them. Tney are 

 offered more than the clergy of France, or even of Belgium 

 possess, inasmuch as their civil quality is admitted, and as they 

 are privileged to enjoy property acquired by mortmain. It is 

 their independence that they should now endeavour to acquire 

 and if they obstinately refused every arrangement they would 

 give the Government and the Protestant people of England the 

 right to say Ireland wishes not for peace." 



Tbe Dibats contains a long and angry article on the 

 election of Mr. Polk as President of the United States, a 

 result which it believes has been produced by fraud, and 

 by the votes of some thousands of Irishmen whose 

 rights of citizenship are at least questionable. It proceeds 

 to examine what will be the effect of tne election, and 

 after considering the divided opinions of people in 

 America, and especially of those who supported Mr. 

 Polk on the two great questions which at present divide* 

 public opinion— namely, the revision of the tariff of 

 1842, and the incorporation of Texas, it gives its opinion 

 that, from the division amongst Mr. Polk's own sup- 

 porters upon these questions, nothing will probably be 

 done, and that the probability is that things will remain 

 pretty much as they are. " This time," it says, u the 

 question was more clearly than ever a struggle be- 

 tween the north and the south— between the free 

 and the slave States, which have opposite inter- 

 ests. Of all the characteristics of this election, 

 this is perhaps the most annoying. In fine, this 

 election, by the very choice which it has made, 

 appears not^ a fit one to resolve the difficulties in 

 which tbe States have been placed for the last eight 

 years. For such a result, a firm and able hand like Mr. 

 Clay's would have been necessary. It has brought for- 

 ward in relief the tendencies which may become dan- 

 gerous to the repose of the States, and even for the 

 maintenance of the Union. As to the great questions of 

 the Custom-house Tariff and Texas, there appears little 

 probability of their being soon settled. But the election 

 of Mr. Polk having opened the field to many intrigues, 

 and having set public affairs adrift, to be acted upon by 

 accidental causes, and passing unexpected influences, it 

 is impossible to foretell with any certainty what may 

 occur in America during the next four years, in regard
